A parliamentary committee has summoned the managing director of a distilling company to appear before it next week, to respond to complaints of polluting the environment.

London Distillers Kenya Limited MD is required to appear before the National Assembly Environment Committee, on Tuesday next week, to address issues raised by residents of Great Wall Gardens Estate in Mlolongo. The residents have accused the alcohol-maker of subjecting them to health hazards.
